I looked through the list of all the Persons Of The Year ( 2023 is the 96th time), and unless I missed something , and unless you want to count Trump as being one, Swift is the first entertainer to be named Person Of The Year.
If anyone doubts the overwhelming influence of social media and fluff pop culture, here is your proof.
I like Taylor Swift, mainly because she is a very attractive woman who seems nice, grounded, loyal to her friends , and politically aware. I am not impressed by her music, which I think is mediocre, but I am well past the demographic age she appeals to.
There is somewhat of an element of mass hysteria , I think, in relation to Taylor Swift. The height of that is all the attention paid to who her boyfriend is, a professional football player. When Taylor appeared at one of his games for the first time and was shown cheering him on tv, it was like the world stopped to bask in the magnificence of the scene. All the tv shows couldnt stop talking about it the next day.
Considering who they had to choose from, she is a good choice
I wish people paid as much attention to what is happening in the world as they do to Taylor Swift. I have a family member who came over on Oct. 10, and the news was on in the background. I swear this guy could probably tell you how many pieces of corn are in Taylor Swift’s shit on any given morning, but he looked at the tv and said “wait, what’s going on over there?” He literally had no idea that Hamas had attacked Israel. I looked at him and asked if he was serious, and he said he doesn’t watch the news … or read it, or have friends that do, apparently.
I think there is a place for pop culture in our, or any society. It is "fun" and a diversion for people from the daily drudge.
But the glorification of Taylor Swift, or Beyonce, takes it to a different level. I do worry about the amount of time tens of millions of people spend worshipping celebrities. It doesnt sound like a healthy society.
I think she may be an ok person. She likes cats so there's that.
I'm not into pop music. I'm too old for Top 40. But good for Ms. Taylor. Keep making the big bucks, Young Lady
